It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque and took hold of my hand. I also entered the mosque with him. There was a man reciting the Qur'an and performing prayer. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "This person has been given one of the beautiful tones of the family of Dawood (peace be upon him)." When I looked, it was Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him). I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I inform him of this?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Inform him." So I informed him, and he said, "You have always been my friend."
